Spare Tire

Hpdrver,
Thanks for your post. To clarify, Good Sam Roadside Assistance would cover to install a good inflated spare on you rig. If you do not have an inflated spare on a rim, Good Sam Roadside Assistance would cover the service call to bring a new tire to you and install on your rim. In that scenario the cost of the tire plus mounting would be at your expense.

Thanks again for your post.

That was very entertaining. Thanks

Had many tires change beside the road .. I don't have or want to carry the heavy impact driver and truck mounted compressor to run it or even cheater bars. And all the other "stuff" Let the commercial truck service truck handle it while I have a beverage or if in the outback drive the toad to town to get someone to do it. ??
To answer the op question .. yes they will call a commercial truck tire service truck to mount your tire beside the road.normally covers the expense If you knew who to call you could also make the call. They have heavy impact driver guns and the bars to remove the tire along with the 20,000 lb air jack to raise the coach to take it off to work on it. Great to watch done, not do. Especially on the side of the road not in a nice clean shop. Didn't deal with it 30 years driving truck and certainly won't now ...... no no no !
Carrying a tire can be less costly if you have a hard to get size. Provided you have space !

Can roadside assistance take the bad tire off my wheel and install my spare?

Yes, and so can you, just learn how, with two tire spoons it can be quite easy.

If it's the outside dual I'll do it myself in less time than a mobile tire guy can get there. You should be able to get one to you in less than an hour.

I've been driving for over 50 years and can't remember ever using a spare on any vehicle I've owned. I, like you, have Coach Net and if I ever have a need, I'll wait for them to find a tire. But its good to be prepared if you have plenty of space to carry a tire.

me too, carry a spare ,great idea. most any garage can mount a tire. BUT most garages don,t carry hundreds of tires on stock to match our rv.
